Night before works better:
Cook the potatoes the night before until you can poke a fork in them, just not mushy.
Boil the eggs the night before so they can cool.

Next day:
Fry the bacon, cool on paper towel and cut to sizes you want. Save the bacon drippings for the dressing.

Make dressing:
In a separate bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, sugar and bacon drippings. Taste and adjust all amounts to your liking.
